We delivered the internal fit-out of the Starbucks unit within Manchester Airport Terminal 2, creating a fully operational café within the busy airside departures environment. The works involved construction of the trading space, installation of interior finishes, and coordination with client-direct contractors responsible for specialist equipment and branded elements.

The 82-day programme included structural installations, joinery, and interior fit-out works alongside the integration of mechanical, electrical, and technology systems required for the café’s operation. All works were delivered in accordance with approved design drawings and in close coordination with the main contractor and airport stakeholders.
